Rest in arcadia my precious Goatie, knowing that so many of the living still miss you. Smacks. Mary

Franklin was an amazing man and always championed the living, working artist (vertical) as much as those that have passed (horizontal). He was a champion of my work as well as my grandfather's - J. Theodore Johnson. His colorful stories revolving around the world of art, artists and collectors was terrific and help us captive at the dinner table and beyond. He also introduced me to the work of Harold Shapinsky, an abstract master in my view. I will always smile and bow politely in his honor each time I walk past 24, East 73rd Street in NYC. A great man.

"O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with bredeOf marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,Beauty is truth, truth beauty,that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

And Lord Macaulay:

"Then out spake brave Horatius,The Captain of the gate:To every man upon this earthDeath cometh soon or lateAnd how can man die betterThan facing fearful oddsFor the ashes of his fathersAnd the temples of his gods"

And Pound:

"What thou lov'st well shall not be reft from thee; What thou lov'st well is thy true heritage."

And from Liber AL vel Legis:

"For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect"

With Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" simply because it aroused your soul

And your memo to self in one of your notebooks:

"Never attempt to re-order a life already lived"

Finally, as you often wished for me:

"Sleep like an angel"

I didn't know Franklin well, I only bought only two works from him. Nevertheless, I am sad to learn that he no longer walks on this earth and trust that he is improving the aesthetics in the after life as I type.

Goats contramundo. More than just a game for two. For a thousand years. And a thousand more. Forever. Always.
